People have the right to do what they want when they play the America's Choice game. However, you can see why BB hates the concept of Americans voting for the outcome of anything serious in this game.

The way I see it, if the "outside" can greatly influence the game by flying banners over, then the "inside" should be able to counter-influence it by producers trying to change things. They wouldn't have had to do anything if people would just watch and quit trying to ruin things!

It happened in BB1 when the fans got to decide for the hgs and it was a fiasco. They changed the following year and only gave America's choice to the fans. With all the outcry they tried to bring it back this year, and what happens?? They make the mistake of not clarifying who is playing for who. This makes for a large controversy and it gives BB the option of saying next season "it just doesn't work for the fans to be involved."

EM..well then, I ask myself, hasn't Dani caught on to the shift in their attitudes? I guess since Eric asked that everyone treat him nicely for his "last day" that she thinks nothing of it, but still she is perceptive enough.

Bon, do you think it's possible that BB/CBS presented the AP role one way to Eric and another way to us?

Dustin can not help himself. He told Eric to "Eat well" hinting that he will be staying.

I would rather have seen a surprised Kail, Dick, Dani, AND Eric tonight.

I believe BB will step in if they clearly see that America is trying to ruin Erics game. It's just my belief and I'm pretty sure BB has some legal coverage on that. Just like their personal call on these so called penalty noms. It is at their disgression.

I think BB can legally do pretty much whatever they want to influence the outcome of the game.

I just watched the video and don't think it had a thing to do with Eric. Amber said she was 'pi*sed' and said something to Jameka, who loudly said "Your kidding"...or something and then Amber said "Big Wig." I think she told Jameka she got blasted for her anti-semitic remarks and Jameka was surprised.

Jimmer, I agree with you which is why Im confused as to why they would "influence"(if thats the word you all want to use for telling Amber to keep him)the HG to keep him...I would think they would rather get it over and done with

Typing fool...Or SOMETHING is right...he is def in the business

I so want to know exactly what Amber said. And C1, I HEARD with my wittle own ears, Eric repeating stuff that other hgs expressed as concerns about him. Really specific stuff, that he worded exactly. So the DR HAD to be feeding him info to try to best work each HG to stay. Maybe that isn't a gun to the head how to vote, but all of it added up is way too much interference IMHO for a game that is even semi-legit lol

I feel better now.. I sent a copy of the transcript of Amber telling them the DR was trying to get her to keep Eric to Foxnews..so they can do a follow up on the article about Amber and how BB is trying to save face by cheating!...

Trying to catch up with the overnight stuff but have to comment on the above...and other comments I read about BB cheating.

How are they cheating? This IS Big Brother. The premise of the show is to control all of these people and I am thinking that they can do that in any way they see fit.

They keep these folks, who volunteered for it, in a box, with camera's and folks watching them. They pull ALL the strings on what they eat, what they don't, if it is slop, if it is chips, what goes on in the DR, what goes on in the yard.

The one thing they/CBS/Grodner are NOT good at is following through with the penalties for singing and what not. But, they even control *us*. Sell us 24/7 and block about as much as they shoot, it seems. This year, they give America a vote with AP and *we* become part of BB. Scary stuff if one looks at the whole thing.

It all boils down to, no matter what they say or do, BB is all controlling and what is good for one, may not be good for the other but if BB thinks it's fair, then it is fair by their call.

I saw this with wanting Eric to go and wanting to see more banners to shake things up LOL. Even in a real life BB scenario, people will rebel and shake the apple tree. That is what the banners do to BB. ;)

Christiii I believe there are a few that will have the nerve to put up the Donatos for eviction but they need the support and they have the support as well. Jen will nominate Dick no problem. Eric if he gets one nomination all his own will nominate Dick. Dustin will shove them both up there. I believe Jessica would do it as well with the backing of her group. So yes they have the nerve. They just need the support.

Jen is really dumb to have befriended Dani, because if she doesn't nom her WITH Dick, Dani will get the POV and take Dick off.

I don't know if they presented it differently, but if they did as poor of a job presenting it to him as they have to us... he knows very little. But that doesn't negate the fact that his role is AP...not a very well defined role, but a role nonetheless

Cheating by giving him specific information and srong armng people (amber) into voting to keep him

IMHO ANY kind of influence they are pushing is cheating cause then it is no longer a game it is a script....

If we are so convinced that BB is directing things in the DR, what is to keep them from making sure that if Eric wins HOH, the so called America's Choice won't be what Eric wants anyway. That vote can be rigged.

I think they let the real votes go through the first few times just to see what would happen. They found out and now they will go back to controlling the game for max tv ratings.

I think the report of protesters was not correct.

It is no longer on updates at jokers and there was even a question then if they were talking about Dick or Eric since the report was about lies.

Lurk it comes down to BB and their legal coverage in regard to this AP player. Do they feed him info? Who knows for sure. Are they allowed to? Who knows? Ultimately, I don't see a gun to anyones head in voting. As I said Jen was told in every way she was stupid for putting up Kaysar yet she still went for it. They even played that song "Stupid Girl" the morning she was going to nominate him and she flat out knew what they were trying to say to her. Her own choice destroyed her game.

I wonder if they give the texted votes more weight than the online votes?

Who here pays $10 to vote their way each week?
